Hua Xi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a hearty smile: "Pain, maybe, but if I indulge in pain for the rest of my life, then I would rather choose death at the beginning." ”

Long Qianyu quietly clenched his fists, he wanted to say that if she felt pain, then he was willing to take her away, go to a place where there was no one, and live freely.

But...... She is Hua Xi, and she will never choose to escape.

It is a given fact that even if it is death, she will be brave enough to rise head-on.

It's like saving him regardless of life and death.

He smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I understand, since it is your hope, I will not let you down." ”

Hua Xi looked at him in a daze for a moment, and finally could only sigh helplessly.

He hadn't yet understood the weight on his shoulders, and just like her, he had always thought that there were other possibilities before he knew his own background.

"I hope you won't disappoint the people of Fengxi Country." He wasn't born for her, and it's not that she's not disappointed.

There are some things that you must have experienced yourself to understand.

Hua Xi turned around and glanced at Shen Huaixu beside him, there was shock, confusion, surprise, and sourness in his eyes.

Yes, she didn't die, she came back.

chose to hide it from him back then, just hoping not to burden him.

She slowly walked down the steps, and Shen Huaixu also followed, walking behind her unhurriedly.

Hua Xi walked out of the gazebo and looked up at the stars above her head, a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Brother Shen, I remember you told me before that whenever the emperor is happy, the stars in the sky will be very bright, I thought it was a legend, but I didn't expect it to be true."

Shen Huaixu lowered his head, and when he heard the words, he only smiled faintly, and his mouth was bitter.

"In the past two years, you must have seen the sky higher and farther, the starry sky of Jialan City, is it still beautiful?"

"Always the most beautiful."

There was a flickering starlight in Hua Xi's eyes, that was a light that could never fade.

Shen Huai looked at it in a daze, like something in his chest, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

"Brother Shen, do you still like the starry sky of Jialan City?" Hua Xi turned around and asked.

Shen Huaixu raised his head, looked at the distant sky, and muttered: "I used to think that you were dead, people say that people will become stars in the sky after death, I often look up, looking for you in the starry sky, no matter where the starry sky is, as long as you are there, I like it very much." ”

"People don't become stars until they die." Hua Xi smiled bitterly, "Brother Shen, there are so many stars in the sky, why are you obsessed with one?" ”

"You're right." Shen Huaixu's voice was still bitter, "I probably shouldn't look at the stars, after all, it's too far away." ”

"I didn't mean that......"

"I understand." Shen Huaixu took a deep breath and suppressed the unrelieved depression in his heart, "Hua Xi, I'm sorry for not protecting your mother. ”

"It's okay, she's fine now."

"You mean, Madame is still alive?" Shen Huaixu was both surprised and delighted, it was originally the only connection between him and Hua Xi, but this bridge was broken.

Hua Xi nodded, she also has an extra brother.

"I wonder where Madame is? I can bring her in and take care of her for the rest of her life. "If the broken bridge is being repaired, will she be able to come back?

"I'm afraid not right now." Hua Xi was depressed, and Dugu Feng was under Lu Lian's surveillance, so I am afraid it would not be so easy to bring it out.
